3 Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus: psallite nomini eius, quoniam suave.

6 Omnia quæcumque voluit, Dominus fecit in cælo, in terra, in mari, et in omnibus abyssis.

Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding deeps:

7 Educens nubes ab extremo terræ: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:

Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.

8 qui percussit primogenita Ægypti ab homine usque ad pecus.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;

9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.

Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.

Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.

And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13 Domine nomen tuum in æternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.

O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.

14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.

15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.

The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:

16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.

Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.

18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
